Description

This test case tests the functionality of the ABRT feature using the Mailx plugin.

How to test

Ensure you have the plugin installed with the command su -c 'yum install libreport-plugin-mailx'

Ensure you have sendmail installed with the command su -c 'yum install sendmail'

Ensure that the abrtd and abrt-applet processes are both running

Kill a running process with the command kill -SIGSEGV (pid). It must be a process that is part of a signed Fedora package

Use Preferences button in the same window to configure the plugin, set your email as the recipient.

Proceed to reporting using "Forward"/"Apply" buttons.

If reporting is unsuccessful, please include the reporting log in your abrt bug report. Reporting log can be cut and pasted from the GUI report window, or retrieved from event_log file in problem data directory (e.g. /var/tmp/abrt/ccpp-2011-03-04-15:46:26-22496/event_log).

Expected Results

Check the the email if the message from ABRT has arrived (might take a few minutes).
